This antique nickel plated nutcracker dates to the late Victorian to Edwardian era, 1890-1910 and measures 5 inches long. The nutcracker is a pliers type nutcracker that is convertible with 2 toothed areas to accommodate 2 sizes of nuts when the top is flipped over one side or the other. The antique nutcracker is in very good ++ used vintage condition but obviously used and shows wear and has lost most of the nickel plating. Old designs like this are very collectible and very hard to find.
